Munitions Safety from Cradle-to-Grave
Protection against catastrophic incidents throughout all phases of a munition's life cycle - development, production, transportation, storage, and use or disposal - requires the expertise of the designers and constant vigilance by users.
In addition, the development and fielding of safer munitions contributes to Defence Against Terrorism, one of the highest priorities of NATO. It is a critically important asset in military operations and logistics.
